Application Med Jane l, 190| 'Cortal Io. 407".

designed for heating water contained intanks, and it primarily has forits object to provide an efficient heater which will operate on gaseous!fucl and the like, of auch ,construction to pelmit ready access to theheating coil for purposes of cleaning the same.

My invention .lao has for its object to provide a complete nppura'tunfor heating water for domcst ic use, embodying a tank snpprter, waterhcatcr, circulating pipes, drain and sediment cock combined, and itsmain ob'e'cts are to provide a simple, substantial,

ient and compact apparatus which cnn be readily attuched to t iestandiml ty )e of reservoir or tunk without the une o nnmeroua ipejoints and fittings, und having all of t ese parte readily accessiblefor repairing or cleaning thus making s great savlnlln time of settingup or in repairing.

, y invention also includes nn improved outlet valve or cock, wherebythe heating tube muy he thoroughly llushcd und cleansed and tho sedimenttherefrom and from the tank may be quickly und effectively rcmoved.

Those other details of construction which are' novel and hereinafterdescribed ond pointed ont in thc nppended cluimmnlsn orm a pui-t of myinvention.

In the drnwings: Figure 1, in o front cicvntion of u tunk with myinvention applied. Fig. 2, is an enlarged section of my inven- Fig. 3,is n horizontal section on thc A Fig. 4,' io ohorizoutul :action on theline 4--4 of.l"ig. 2.

thi-ended into t xe tank 'bottom i 13", opens directly into t e tank, l,und the other, 13j', neceives the lower'end of apipe 14:- that extendsup into the tank and terx'ztmetes near the top thereof. The heating'coil l5 has one'end brazed'to the pipe 9 at' 411, and the other endbrazed to thepipe 9 'lower down below the partition 13, -as at 12,

one end communicating witl'i'the passa? 13" and the other end with the'prima, 1;

of the pipe 9.

In practice, the partition 18 is preferably mede by vtlattenin andextendin a port oi the pipe 14, a thou'h the pa ition 13 may be made inno3' ot ier approved manner. An outlet or rain cock 17in tapped into thelower end of the pi ,9, as at 16 and the -cock 17 has a shou der 18 for'a purpose hereinafter made ep tirent. The cock 17 has a volvo neat. 19in 'i a n r face to receive the valve 28 whose stem passes throuh thethreaded gland 21 and carries le 24, as shown.

25 is n gas `burner of the whom hub 26 encirclee thepipe 9 and rests ontho shoulder 18 of the coclrl't'.
